I think the point is that the term "retard" is in itself, offensive.
Destiny and Quantic part ways - Page 4

Before anyone replies remember that you don't have to like what people say, but you have no right telling them they can't say it. Grow a fucking backbone. That's whats wrong with you people, you assume your given the right to take away someones free speech because you think a set of words are "hurtful". This is what wrong with society today, you think your entitled to this bullshit. Also if Warden reads this message, how about you tell everyone you were calling people retards at the St Louis LAN back when you were on xi. I bet people with disabilities wouldn't like that either, kettle meet pot. Agreed, so much. Even if the end result is more morally "clean" for the Starcraft scene (which is bullshit), it's ridiculous that someone guilty of the exact same thing as Destiny (and has actually been much more BM to me on the ladder than Destiny ever has) was able to manipulate an entire community into getting Destiny canned. Reddit lately has been one of the worst things for the development of esports. | ||

IdrA got unlisted for 90 days (i think maybe 30 cant remember) and it didnt affect his viewership much once he started streaming again the people who watch destiny dont watch him becuase they see his name on the side of TL | ||

I don't care that a big part of our community jumps on shit all the time. Or that another big part of them jumps to argue with that other big group. Or even that witch-hunts get made and too many people act as a giant stupid hive mind. Or that people can't give or take criticism worth a shit. Or that everyone thinks they're on the right side all the time and most people don't actually even bother to consider the other side of anything aside from how they're going to use it to straw man someone's point of view. All of that is bad to various degrees. But to me none of that is remotely as harmful as those people taking that, and then going straight to people's sponsors. I'm tired of the constant drama, but I can ignore stupid drama. I can't ignore "this is my letter to Razer about ________, everyone else should send one too since _______ clearly isn't doing anything as it's been a whole 10 internet minutes and do you really expect us to have to do something crazy like waiting?" That I care about, because that genuinely scares me. | ||

Just look at half the posts in this thread. They feel like they've personally furthered the growth of eSports. | ||

Agreed, it's one of the few times it actually feels good to be a part of the community. Cheers. =) | ||
